Background: X-linked Adrenal Hypoplasia Congenita (AHC) is a very rare hereditary cause of pediatric primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI). Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydrolase deficiency(21OHD) is most common hereditary cause of pediatric PAI with autodominal recessive inheritance.Objective: To present a Chinese boy with PAI with the pathogenic mutation of NROB1 and Double mutants in cis of CYP21A2 gen...

Background: Mandibular hypoplasia, deafness, progeroid features, and lipodystrophy (MDPL) syndrome is a genetic disorder which was first recognized in 2010. MDPL syndrome is comprised of mandibular hypoplasia, deafness, progeroid features, lipodystrophy, hypogonadism and metabolic disorders. It is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation in the polymerase delta 1 (POLD1) gene, with <30 genetically confirmed cases to date.Cas...

Keywords: Central precocious puberty; Luteinizing hormone; Precocious puberty Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agnosit testBackground: 2019 International consensus on central precocious puberty (CPP) proposed that random serum luteinizing hormone (LH) ≥0.83IU/L and < 0.2IU/L has important reference value for the establishment or exclusion of CPP, but there is no corresponding diagnostic criteria in China. This study ...

Objectives: Somatrogon is a long-acting recombinant human growth hormone (GH) approved in the EU and other countries for once-weekly treatment of pediatric patients with GH deficiency (GHD). In this analysis, height outcomes of somatrogon-treated patients in a phase 3 trial (CP-4-006) were compared with historical data from matched somatropin-treated patients enrolled in KIGS.Methods: In trial CP-4-006, patients were ran...

Background: Familial hCG syndrome is a rare and benign cause of elevated serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β- hCG), moreover, elevated β-hCG in cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) has never been reported in familial hCG syndrome.Object: To report the two Chinese families of familial hCG syndrome with elevated β-hCG concurrently in blood/CSF.Method: We described the clini...

Objective: To summarize the metabolic status in children with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia(CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD).Methods: Children with classic 21OHD from Pediatric Endocrinology Clinics at the First affiliated hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from January 1990 to February 2023 were included in the study. The prevalence of overweight/obesity, dyslipidemia [high triglyceride (TG), high ...

Background: X-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenita (AHC) is a rare disorder characterized by primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH), with limited clinical and genetic characterization.Methods: The clinical, biochemical, genetic, therapeutic, and follow-up data of 42 patients diagnosed with X-linked AHC were retrospectively analysed.Results: Hyperp...

Background: Sitosterolemia (STSL) is an extremely rare genetic disease. Xanthomas as the first symptom is frequently misinterpreted as familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in children. Inappropriate treatment may deteriorate the condition.Objectives: The goal of this study was to summarize the clinical characteristics of children with STSL who had xanthomas as their first symptom and to provide clues for early clinical dia...

Background and Objectives: In the patients with Turner syndrome (TS), the risk of hypertension is higher in childhood and adulthood. The aim of the study was to retrospectively analyze 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in children and adolescents with TS and its related factors.Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted involving TS patients admitted to our pediatric endocrine specialist...

Object: To raise the awareness of clinical manifestations about vasculitis-related moyamoya syndrome by summarizing the clinical characteristics of a girl with central precocious puberty, vasculitis-related moyamoya syndrome and reviewing the literature. Method: We carried on the review analysis to the patient with central precocious puberty, vasculitis-related moyamoya syndrome and reviewed the literature. Result: The bilateral breast development was the prim...
